Much diverse speculation over the meet
ing of Emperor William and the Car
will be checked by the announcement
that the Emperor has abandoned his in
tention Of going to Kohigsberg. 1t WAS
determined to-day, after q long cousults-
ton of his physicians, that instead OF
venturing to attend the army maneuvers,
it was urgent that the Emperor should
return to Babelsberg. In accordance with
this decision the Emperor and Empress
and the Imperial Court viii go TO Babels-
berg on Monday. The abandonment Of
the KoDigsberg programme by the Kaiser
has air eady created exaggerated pessimistic
reports IN reference 20 his condl-
ton. But the facts are that he
is in bis usual health, although he was
somewhat 81 AIKEN by mis- fall Of Thursday.
He rose this morning a. his accustomed
hour and heard verbal reports OF military
affairs. He then granted an audience to
Marshal Won Moltke, with whom he con-
versed for a long time on the recent review
of the Gusrds- Later be received Won
3chellendOTf, Minister OF War and General
Albedyll and at clock he went out Tor
n drive. After his return he received, first,
Herr Won Pattkauaer, Minister of the In
terror and then Count Won Stoloerg.
The alteration of the Emperors plans is
due entirely to the represeni atoms of his
opposed TO his venturing to attend the
KoDlgsberg maneuvres, which would in
volve great fatigue under the best possib BILE
conditions. And they well know that the
Emperor, once in the field, passes beyond
th~euidance of his physicians and ex-
pos himself with little thought for the
results. This happened at Kiel and
caused a, physical crisis. The most
ors imprudence wss at the review of the
Guards, when he remained three hours
standing, exposed to the sun and. wind. but
without appearing to feel any evil effscts.
Afterwards, however, he was hardly able
to be present at the banquet in the schloss,
and his fall after the banquet was IN
doubtedly due TO increased fsebleness arts
ing from Over.exertion. When he recoV-
cred his feet, without assistance, he ex-
pressed The fear that his doctor would take
advantage of the mishsp and make it a
p-etext TO dissuade him IRON going to the
InsneUvers-
Communications from the Crown Prince
urgently support the opinions of the doc
tors, and their &C vice was also further for
titled by representations from Count Won
Moltke and Prince Bismarck. 1t was only
after Count Won Moltke's visit to the En-
pelor to-day that it became known Athat
the journey to Konigsberg was off.
THE POLITICAL ASPECT.
The political aspect of affairs will not be
changed by the abaD donment of the meet
ingwiththe Czsr. The off cial press has right
~ insisted on the purely personal and fam
lily character attaching to the intended
meeting, and that beyond indicating a
temporary relation of Russo German jeal-
ousies, il had no political significance.
This view was expressed in yesterday even
ing's semi-oficial Post, which supports the
Cologne Gazette in declaring that the
--Or16 ho 81 VNI of v,orunno1 i'm
portance, and that the furthest going con-
cessions on the part of Germany would
produce DO lasting friendship with Russia.
Prince Albrecht of Prussia, will repre-
sent the Emperor at the Kouigsberg ma
neuvers. Prince William will remain in
Berlin.
The collapse of the spirit monopoly ring
gives intense qualification to the public
and is especially pleasing to the Progress
sists, VINO alone among the political par
ties denounced the enterprise. The pro-
iectors OF the scheme fought till the last
moment 10 obtain Subscriptions which
were first definitely fixed to be closed Mon
ThuIs6sy. During this period negotiations
were res umed with the Bleichroders and
Mendslssohns, the projectors urging them
10 support the scheme il it was shown that
the disiillers were unanimously joining
the spirit bank. aud the success of the pro-
ject appeared probable till it was known
that besides the Nordhausen, the Silesiau
distillers held aloof. When the project
was Withdrawn necessary ad-
hesioDs were still awaited. The shares OF
the dlstillers companies have resumed
their normal value and there has been a con-
current and heavy fall in prices of spirits.
The discussion OF the spirit monopoly
has led to. the disclosure of the fact that
Prince Bismarck is concerned ia distilliog

SOCIALIST CONGRESS.
The circular convoking the coming SO
clalist congress appeared first in the North
German Gazette. Its publication was
great surprise TO the leaders of the party
who intended that the circular should bt
kept secret. The Volks Zeltung explains
this miscarriage of the Socialistic plans by
saying that copy OF the circular, which
missed its destination, fell into the hand
of the police of Leipsic. at a private con
sultation of the chiefs of the party, held il
Berlin, ii was srranged TO plan the con
gress so as TO avoid prosecution uude
the Socialist laws and escape the fate o
the delegates who assisted at the previou
congresses at Wyden and Copenhagen an
who were prosecuted on their return L
Germany as representatives Of illegal so
cieties. To the coming congress no specis
delegates nor association mandates are'nec
essary, as the congress ia ostensibly ope
~ the world, but the assembly will exsl
else its right to exclude Objectionable pei
sors. The official papers recogniz
the skill of these precautions
but ask why, il the Socialist
are so attentive to legality. they do no
hold the congress in Germany. In repl
to this question. Herr Bebell has written

deliberations from the vengeance of tn
